Notes from the Resistance
While it’s interesting that candidates who never lifted a finger to protect gun rights are desperate to appear to have the support of gun rights organizations, voters deserve to know what’s really happening in our elections. And it’s not pretty. Do nothing organizations have long sought to cash in on the generosity and commitment of … Continue reading “Oregon’s Astroturf Gun Group”
While this is a terrible system, one “race” is particularly troubling. The coronation for Appeals Court Judge Position 6. There your “choice” is…Jim Egan. (See “non partisan candidates”) And that should send chills up your spine if you still have any shred of faith in Oregon’s Judicial System. Egan, you may recall, was the “judge” … Continue reading “Oregon’s Judicial Sideshow”
After almost 30 years as advocates for Second Amendment rights, we can tell you we have no idea who “Oregon Gun Rights” is. They are not listed as a business by the Secretary of State. They are not a political action committee. [More] They’re not listed here, either. This is all I could find. So … Continue reading “Who Is Oregon Gun Rights?”
Two gun bills were filed this week that we think you should know about… a straight-up attack on core gun rights [and a supposedly ] pro-gun bill [that] has the potential to make things even worse for gun owners. [More] Boquist’s conversion to the Dark Side is complete.
“Intervenors came before this court and referenced UN mandates, which … is a well-documented trope meant to invoke white supremacist, antisemitic fear of a takeover of our country by outsiders and minorities who are manipulated by an elite class of supervillains,” Egan wrote. The Columbia County ordinance (and by implication, all Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions … Continue reading “Radical Oregon Ruling Declares Defense of Second Amendment Racist and Antisemitic”
“December 07, 2022 (Wednesday) will be the last day to purchase ANY firearm without a valid Oregon Firearm Purchase Permit.” [More] The useful idiot dilettante billionaires bankrolling this abomination don’t care whose livelihoods are destroyed or whose rights are usurped as long as this wins them “progressive” accolades for being enlightened and benevolent. It’s not … Continue reading “Under Oregon’s Measure 114, ‘Common Sense Gun Safety’ Means Shutting Down Gun Sales”
There are only two things that are certain in Oregon in 2025. Taxes and Republican surrender. [More] Most would be like that everywhere if that’s what it took. Don’t look for things to change in the Beaver State as long as the RNC and national “conservative” groups and PACs view principled primary challengers to be … Continue reading “Out with the Old/In with…the Old”

Tony Aiello, the lawyer who argued on behalf of gun owners, once again, did a spectacular job. [More] Will it matter?
Dennis has been one of the most stalwart defenders of gun rights and liberty in general… So it would seem like a no brainer that Republican legislators would be all in for Dennis. Not so fast. House Rep Kim Wallan, Republican of Jackson County has now endorsed…Tobias Read. [More] Letting Republicans continually get away with … Continue reading “With Republicans Like Kim Wallan, Who Needs Democrats?”
Lawyers, Guns, and…Money [More] Oregon Firearms Federation asks gun owners to help it help them. I wonder how many just want to eat the bread…
The Rise of the Right-Wing Tattletale [More] Jackson Reffitt could not be reached for comment. Neither could Al Sharpton, Facebook gun snitches, Trump Voterlist.org, Amalgamated Bank, anyone from ATF, LA Crimestoppers, Kate Brown, NYPD… y’know, I could do this all day. And then some. And now we’re the ones spreading misinformation. So says Nature… Do … Continue reading “I Know You Are But What Am I?”
While it seems unlikely that anyone who reading this would miss a vote, the reality is many gun owners do not register to vote or return their ballots. [More] I kind of understand a fatalistic TINVOWOOT impulse. But I don’t get profiles in apathy. Or rejecting a self-defense tactic. I will keep trying with the … Continue reading “VOTE”
Ghost guns — that is 3D-printed guns, guns with no serial numbers, guns that can’t be detected by X-rays and guns built at home using separately purchased parts — are now banned on Oregon streets. [More] An Emmy Award-winning one at that! And people vote based on this. This seems appropriate. CBS KOIN 6: News … Continue reading “Ken Boddie, ‘Real Reporter’”
Today You Became A Criminal [More] Yesterday, actually. Democrats and Vichycon Republicans shredding the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, and ready to destroy your life if they catch you disobeying them and claiming your birthright…
Today, Judge Adrienne Nelson, denied our request for a restraining order to delay the implementation of HB 2005, the bill banning the ownership of privately made firearms. [More] I trust no one believed a judge who has been appointed by Kate Brown and nominated by Joe Biden was going to give gun owners an even … Continue reading “Unrestrained Tyranny”

Oregon’s House Republicans pulled a “bait and switch” and extorted money from their members with a false promise of funding a lawsuit against the bill they helped pass. Since then they have pretended it never happened and just don’t want to talk about it. [More] What Vichycons fail to understand is that those of us … Continue reading “Let Them Lose”
After helping the Democrats pass the bill, the Oregon House Republicans, in a cynical and disgraceful display of bait and switch, posed on the Capitol steps with a giant fake check that they said was going to be used for a lawsuit against the bill they had just helped pass…. Firearms Policy Coalition has announced … Continue reading “No Thanks to Vichycons”
Meanwhile, our battles against Measure 114 are moving forward at a glacial pace. We believe our Federal lawsuit will be several more years in the courts. The state case, which gun owners are winning at this point, is headed to the Oregon Appeals Court as we speak. There is simply no way to predict the … Continue reading “Fighting on Two Fronts”
We have truly crossed the line. All of this is coordinated, none of it is by chance and it’s happening at lightning speed. [More] Oregon Firearms Federation notes a desperate enemy attacking from all sides.

Transgender high school runner in Oregon hears boos from crowd after winning girls’ 200-meter state title [More] There is one symbolic act girls could perform that would gain instant publicity and make it problematic for collectivist officials to retaliate: Instead of running, take a knee and let the pretender race off by himself. And as … Continue reading “Playing the Race Cards”
The lobby, and their money, have made their picks. We urge you to vote for the people who care more about you than lobby money. [More] Just good luck finding them. And don’t put blind faith in NRA grades or phony Vichycon posturing.
Mannix has been promoting gun control for 25 years so his vote was to be expected. Charlie Conrad is new at this. His votes have been so egregious his own county party has demanded he resign. What in the world is NRA thinking? Well, they also endorsed Vikki Breese Iverson who was the Republican House … Continue reading “THE NRA ENDORSES ANTI-GUNNERS…AGAIN”
When we checked, the only candidate whose website listed this group as “endorsing” them was Goodwin. Two candidates we contacted had never heard of them and had not requested, and were unaware of, the endorsements. Hilariously, the website twice misquoted the Second Amendment as “the right to bear and keep arms.” [More] But Democrats are … Continue reading “With ‘Republicans’ Like These, Who Needs Clowns?”
…we have received word from our attorney in the state case that the Oregon Appeals Court has denied the state’s request and as such, Measure 114, along with all its intended and very evil consequences remains “on hold” and not in force. [More] Don’t uncork the champagne just yet: But we are long way from … Continue reading “A Temporary Respite”
You are the reason there are court battles to stop Measure 114.
